Having conquered both the method of increasing and the desire of the edges to roll, I’m anxious to knit more Basic Neckwarmers!

1 - Brown Tweed/Solid Olive
Alternating stripes of a Brown Tweed that has specks of olive, orange, yellow and red with stripes of plain Olive.

Unfortunately things didn’t go nearly as smoothly with the brown and green one. First I had to rip back several rounds so I could correct an Obvious mistake I’d made in the corner increases. Then I ran out of both yarns! First went the olive, leaving the last green stripe one round short. Once I’d measured the remaining brown yardage, I moved on to the garter stitch border, which meant I skipped an entire four-round brown stripe.

With DH’s help (model) you can see that a neckwarmer bib that’s two stripes short still works fine!

2 - Burgundy Tweed/Solid Blue.

I had plenty of both the burgundy and blue yarns for the one and no problems while knitting it. The burgundy, a very soft four-ply tweed, was very nice to knit with. Smooshy! While I knitted the blue stripes with a two and a three-ply yarn held together. The difference in weight between the two colors of stripes is barely noticeable in the finished fabric.

All yarns came from unlabeled scrap balls that seemed to be predominately wool when I did a burn test.

Knitted over a span of just four days, but getting around to blocking them took much longer!
